If you want to print with these bar codes on another type of printer or if you want to define another bar code, then you must add your own bar code definitions. For more information, see
Adding Your Own Bar Code Definitions.
For current information about predefined bar codes and supported printers, see SAP Note 5196.

For bar code printing on device type HPLJ4 (Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4 (PCL-4/5 printer language), you must have the JetCAPS Intelligent Bar code SIMM board for your printer. You can obtain this SIMM card from Hewlett-Packard. R/3 supports only this bar code SIMM module for HPLJ4 printers. See also SAP Note 5196 for supplier information. Note that the HPL2 printer driver automatically restores the font in use before the bar code printing occurred. To do this, the driver issues the appropriate SF<nnn> print control.
